Paying it Forward-- Blogging Style

Thursday, August 03, 2006 by Bethany

Pajama Mama is one wise chic. Or at least one with cool, new ideas. And this one is hers. Here's the details (from the wise one herself):

We’re so quick to point fingers, place blame and criticize the people in our lives. It’s easier to point out a fault than it is to praise a strength. It’s easier to mention something that needs to be done better than it is to acknowledge something that’s been done well.

Therefore, I christen today (and the next few days) “Bloggin’ Good Blogger Days” in the blogging community. Your mission, shall you choose to accept it (and you will), is to go to as many blogs as you can and point out at least one good thing about the author of that blog. Do your best to give them a warm fuzzy feeling. Show your appreciation, admiration or plain old joy.

Tell them why something they did touched you, why a choice they made shows the true fabric of their moral being. Just go BE NICE to every blogger whose blog you read today. And don’t be shy, either!!

Plus, post an entry similar to this one on YOUR blog and ask people to leave warm fuzzies in your comments. Spread the love, people!

Maybe if we take a week to engage in warm fuzzies, they will become a more permanent part of our daily lives, both on and off the computer.

Agreed. Times 10. And hell, I just love the warm fuzzies don't you? So, come on, join in on the warm fuzzy paying compliments forward in the blogsphere, will ya! Here are the easy little steps to get started:
  1. Leave me a warm fuzzy in my comments.
  2. Post a similar entry on your own blog if you've got one (you can copy and paste this one, or Pajama Mama's, but give credit of course)
  3. Leave a warm fuzzy on every blog you visit today (and for me, it will be today, tomorrow and Friday. As today is already passed and I have rewrites to get to).
  4. Sit back, read your own warm fuzzies and feel, well, warm and fuzzy!
It's easy enough right? You love that warm and fuzzy feeling as much as I do... I know you do. So get to it. It's almost better than coffee.
